sorry for such a "newbie" question :-[ , but how do I import custom objects in armadillo?
export it as a slt in 3d max with UNIbastard
put them in C:\MCM2\Track Editior\Usermodels\, make sure to use APM, it's in the download page on this site.
I cant seem to see how to load the new objects :(
Well... they should be where all other objects are...
in the usermodel folder. nd you should have mcm2 installed on C:\Mcm2
ok.... C:Mcm2/TrackEditor/UserModels is where i put the objects, so do I just unzip custom objects into that folder, then open armadillo and wammmm, there they are? I did that and when I open my project in armadillo all i see are the stock objects.
when choosing the objects in dillo, are you choosing from the "custom" objects list?
Ian.
I do now :-[ that was it.. thanks for all your help.
ok, it worked but i noticed this, when i try and place a new object in armadillo it causes it to crash but if i use dillo2 it works fine. is this just a bug with armadillo?
Yes. You need to get the Armadillo updat. It's in the downloads section here at TD.
ok.. i did that and armadillo stilll crashes
NOT under c:/PROGRAM FILES/mcm2
PUT it as C:/MCM2
this means YOU have to reinstall MCM2 direectly under the C drive....
and it may be crashing just because it is a bad object...
that seemed to fix it. I reinstalled to c drive. thanks for help.
1 more question :) do i install new stadiums in the same folder, usermodels folder then put in game through custom tab in armadillo?
yes. all "custom objects" ie any that arnt the stock ones, go into the usermodels folder and pick them from the custom objects window in dillo.
Ian.
thanks!
if the object is bad, would this cause the game to crash? since installing a few objects when I save and bundle and try track in game it kicks me to desktop
Did you get APM from the downloads page and used that?
yes, but i wasnt sure how to use it. do i need to install the objects with it?
there should be a help file i think, but basically, lay all your objects out in dillo and save your project, then Alt Tab out BEFORE BUNDLING
then open APM and select your .PRJ file and set anysetting that you want sun direction lighting blah blah the hit process.
when its done Alt Tab back into dillo and hit BUNDLE dont save again just hit bundle.
Ian.
that did the trick.. thanks for your help
alls well that ends well :D
Ian.
one more thing, i worked on my project and did as you said, then i went back into armadillo and now it doesnt want to reopen my project, it kicks me to desktop, but the bundled track works fine. it is possable i saved my project after using APM, would this cause this?
yes, you will need to re-run APM before you can open it in dillo again. ;)
Ian.
Do I have to make every mistake possable before I learn this ;D thanks for your help
after about hmmmm 6 years, you will still learn something, trust me lol
Ian.
ok, new error. i'm working on track, saving as I go. now when I go to reopen in armadillo I get " unable to read project files " all i did was add a few more objects to my track. ????
Probably some corrupted file...try APM again and read the log...
i ran apm again and get samething from armadillo. all i did was add some bales :(
can i undo this some how so I can work on my project again?
open the .scn file, the last placed object is at the bottom. Make sure to update 'NumberOfStaticModels=?'
so your wanting me to delete the last place object?
ok, I deleted all the objects I placed yesterday.. changed the number of models and ran APM and I still get the same error
:( damn that sux, well dunno what you could do now :(
well.. its no biggie, i just dont want it to happen again :) ... question, when placing bales, is there a number I dont want to go over?? like say 200 total or something or dont it matter?
I think 250 not sure.
i place 320 i think on my old track kicker white dark
'Meybe it depends on your computer how many it can handle?
hmm like not over 1000 ;) i have used like 600 objects as the most still works
600 :| wow lol
Oblivon ;D
Gotta be 'crash into bale paradise'
ok cool... I was wondering, im at around 350 :)
